CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

The present application claims priority to and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2020-0128949, filed on Oct. 6, 2020, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a light emitting module for a vehicle and a lamp device including the same.

BACKGROUND

The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present disclosure and may not constitute prior art.

A lamp for a vehicle refers to a lamp configured to emit light forwards such that the vehicle can travel safely. Vehicle lamps include headlamps, rear lamps, and the like. Headlamps include high-beam lights, low-beam lights, turn signal indicators, position lamps, and other components.

The design of such headlamps has been considered crucial to determining the vehicle design characteristics, and a technology for implementing slim headlamps that provide uniform lighting has become important.

FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 illustrate a vehicle lamp device according to the prior art.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the vehicle lamp device according to the prior art includes multiple light emitting modules M. Particularly, the multiple light emitting modules M are arranged in the forward/backward direction and leftward/rightward direction of the vehicle, and are disposed to be spaced apart from each other in the leftward/rightward direction.

However, we have discovered that a lamp device including multiple light emitting lamps M cases discontinuity because lighting areas that emit light are separated from each other due to the case and the distance of spacing. Covering the light emitting module with a lens that scatters or diffuses light in order to counterbalance the discontinuity may not be applied to a low-beam headlamp having an out-off shape.

The above description regarding the background art is only for helping understanding of the background of the present disclosure, and is not to be regarded by a person skilled in the art as corresponding to already-known prior arts.

SUMMARY

A light emitting module for a vehicle according to the present disclosure includes: a light source configured to generate light during an operation thereof; a condensing lens located on the front side of the light source in a direction in which the light generated by the light source travels, and configured to change a travel direction of input light; and a multi-facet lens located on the front side of the condensing lens in the direction in which the light generated by the light source travels, and comprising a rear surface to which the light that passed through the condensing lens is input through and a plurality of sections, wherein protruding heights of front surfaces of the plurality of sections are different.

The plurality of sections of the multi-facet lens may sequentially protrude to the front side along the leftward/rightward direction or the upward/downward direction of the vehicle.

Respective lighting areas according to the plurality of sections of the multi-facet lens may be different.

The plurality of sections of the multi-facet lens may protrude higher to the front side as they go to the inner side along the leftward/rightward direction of the vehicle.

The plurality of sections of the multi-facet lens may protrude lower to the front side as they go to the outer side along the leftward/rightward direction of the vehicle.

The plurality of sections of the multi-facet lens may be stepped from adjacent sections in the forward/rearward direction.

The plurality of sections of the multi-facet lens may be disposed to face parallel directions.

The light emitting module may further include a housing partially surrounding an outer surface of the multi-facet lens, and the multi-facet lens may be expanded from the front side of the housing to the outer side to cover a front surface of the housing from the front side.

The housing may be disposed to overlap a housing of an adjacent light emitting module in the leftward/rightward direction partially or as a whole, and may be disposed to be spaced apart from the housing of the adjacent light emitting module in the forward/rearward direction.

The housing may be formed of a bezel of a transparent material, through which the light passes.

The condensing lens may cause the light generated by the light source to travel in parallel or to be refracted such that the light is concentrated.

The condensing lens may totally reflect the input light on an inner surface thereof, and may be integrated with the multi-facet lens as a single body.

A lamp device for a vehicle according to the present disclosure is a lamp device including a light emitting module for a vehicle, wherein a plurality of light emitting modules are provided, and the plurality of light emitting modules are disposed in the leftward/rightward direction of the vehicle.

The multi-facet lens in the light emitting module may be spaced apart from a multi-facet lens of an adjacent module in the forward/rearward direction.

The multi-facet lens of the light emitting module may be disposed to protrude further to the relatively front side than a light emitting module disposed on the relatively outer side along the leftward/rightward direction of the vehicle.

The plurality of sections of the multi-facet lens of the light emitting module may protrude further to the relatively front side than a plurality of sections of a multi-facet lens of a light emitting module disposed on the relatively outer side along the leftward/rightward direction of the vehicle.

Steps between the plurality of sections of the multi-facet lens of the light emitting module may be smaller than steps between a plurality of sections of a multi-facet lens of a light emitting module disposed on the relatively outer side along the leftward/rightward direction of the vehicle.

A light emitting module for a vehicle and a lamp device including the same, according to the present disclosure, are advantageous in that continuity regarding lighting areas of light emitting modules is improved, and discontinuity occurring between multiple light emitting modules forming the lamp device is accordingly reduced.

Further areas of applicability will become apparent from the description provided herein. It should be understood that the description and specific examples are intended for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure.

FIG. 3 illustrates an exploded perspective view of a light emitting module M for a vehicle according to one form of the present disclosure. FIG. 4 illustrates a perspective view of a multi-facet lens 30 according to one form of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, a light emitting module M for a vehicle according to one form of the present disclosure includes: a light source 10 configured to generate light during an operation thereof; a condensing lens 20 located on the front side of the light source 10 in a direction in which the light generated by the light source 10 travels, and configured to change the travel direction of the input light; and a multi-facet lens 30 located on the front side of the condensing lens 20 in the direction in which the light generated by the light source 10 travels, to which the light that passed through the condensing lens 20 is input through a rear surface thereof, and including a plurality of sections 31, in which the protruding heights of front surfaces thereof are different.

The light source 10 may include a light emitting diode (LED) or an organic light emitting diode (OLED). In addition, the light source 10 may be an LED array module (LAM).

The light source 10 may be coupled to a substrate 11 that controls various current supplies. For example, the substrate may be a PCB substrate, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

The light source 10 may generate light at a specific point, and may generate light in various directions. The generation direction and the travel direction of the light generated by the light source 10 refer to a direction corresponding to an effective irradiation range of the light source 10, and may be a reverse direction to a direction, in which the light is shielded by the substrate and the like.

In particular, when the light emitting module M for a vehicle according to one form of the present disclosure is mounted on a vehicle, the light source 10 may generate light toward the front side of the vehicle or cause the light to travel to the front side of the vehicle.

The condensing lens 20 may be located on the front side of the light source 10, and may cause the light input to the rear side to travel by reflecting the light. In particular, the condensing lens 20 may change the travel direction of the light generated by the light source 10. In particular, the condensing lens 20 may guide the light generated by the first light source 10 such that the light is condensed.

Here, the concept that light is condensed means that the travel direction of the light is changed to a direction in which the light is condensed to a focus. The case in which the light that travels in a dispersing direction travels in parallel also pertains to the case that the light is changed to a direction in which the light is condensed.

The multi-facet lens (MFL) 30 is located on the front side of the condensing lens 20, and the light generated by the light source 10, which is made to travel in parallel by the condensing lens 20, may be refracted to a specific direction. The light that passed through the multi-facet lens 30 may travel to a preset lighting area.

The light that travels after passing through the condensing lens 20 located on the rear side of the multi-facet lens 30 may be input through a rear surface of the condensing lens 20, and may travel through a front surface of the condensing lens 20.

In detail, the multi-facet lens 30 may include a plurality of sections 31 on the front surface thereof. In particular, the protruding heights of the plurality of sections 31 may be different. That is, a section 31 included in the multi-facet lens 30 may be located to protrude to the front side of an adjacent section 31, or to be recessed to the rear side of the adjacent section 31.

FIGS. 5 and 6 illustrate front plan views of a multi-facet lens 30 according to various forms of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6 further, the plurality of sections 31 of the multi-facet lens 30 sequentially protrude to the front side along the leftward/rightward direction or the upward/downward direction of the vehicle.

In detail, in the multi-facet lens 30, a plurality of sections 31 may be arranged in the upward/downward direction or the leftward/rightward direction.

In particular, the section 31_H1 located in the center direction and at a lower corner of the vehicle may protrude to the foremost side, and the section 31_L1 located in the outward direction and at an upper corner of the vehicle may be recessed to the rearmost side.

Further, as illustrated in FIG. 6, the plurality of sections 31 of the multi-facet lens 30 may sequentially protrude to the front side as they go to the center direction and the upper side along the leftward/rightward direction of the vehicle. In particular, the section 31_H2 located in the central direction and the upper corner of the vehicle may protrude to the foremost side, and the section 31_L2 located in the outward direction and at the lower corner of the vehicle may be recessed to the rearmost side.

The lighting areas according to the plurality of sections 31 of the multi-facet lens 30 may be different.

The light input to the rear surface of the multi-facet lens 30 travels through the plurality of sections forming the front surface to define light emitting areas, and the lighting areas may be areas that are different in the leftward/rightward direction or the upward/downward direction. Portions of the lighting areas may overlap each other.

The plurality of sections 31 of the multi-facet lens 30 may protrude higher to the front side as they go to the inner side along the leftward/rightward direction of the vehicle.

The plurality of sections 31 of the multi-facet lens 30 may protrude lower to the front side as they go to the outer side along the leftward/rightward direction of the vehicle.

In detail, the plurality of sections 31 of the multi-facet lens 30 may protrude gradually further to the front side as they go to the central direction of the vehicle along the leftward/rightward direction of the vehicle. The arrangement may be made along an outer periphery C of a headlamp for a vehicle.

The plurality of sections 31 of the multi-facet lens 30 may be stepped in the forward/rearward direction from the adjacent sections 31.

As one form, the plurality of sections 31 of the multi-facet lens 30 may be disposed to face parallel directions.

In particular, the plurality of sections 31 may be disposed to face parallel directions in a state in which they are cut in a crossing direction, and accordingly, the light that travels through the plurality of sections 31 may also travel in parallel directions.

As another form, some of the plurality of sections 31 of the multi-facet lens 30 may be disposed to face different directions. Accordingly, the intensity of the light for the lighting areas of the light emitting module M may be uniformly set by causing the light to travel in various directions to disperse the light.

FIG. 7 illustrates a diagram of a light emitting module M for a vehicle and a lamp device including the same according to one form of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 7 further, the light emitting module may further include a housing partially surrounding an outer surface of the multi-facet lens 30, wherein the multi-facet lens 30 may be expanded from the front side of the housing 40 to the outer side to cover a front surface of the housing 40 from the front side.

The housing 40 may partially surround the outer surface of the multi-facet lens 30, and may surround the light source 10 and the condensing lens 20 from the outside. In particular, the housing 40 may surround portions of the left side surface and the right side surface of the multi-facet lens 30 from the outside.

In particular, the housing 40 may surround the outer surface of the multi-facet lens 30 at a rear end of the multi-facet lens 30, and an outer surface of a front end of the multi-facet lens 30 may be exposed to the outside of the housing 40. The front end of the multi-facet lens 30 may be expanded to the outer side, and accordingly, when viewed from the front side, the multi-facet lens 30 may be expanded to the front side of the front surface of the housing 40.

Accordingly, an interval between adjacent light emitting modules M, which is caused by the thickness of the housing 40 (a bezel) can be minimized.

Furthermore, the housing 40 may be disposed such that a portion or an entire area of the housing 40 overlap the housing of an adjacent light emitting module M in the leftward/rightward direction, and may be disposed to be spaced apart from the housing of the adjacent light emitting module M in the forward/rearward direction.

Accordingly, the continuity of the light emitting surface can be improved by improving a shading portion disposed between the adjacent light emitting modules M.

In addition, the housing 40 may be formed of a bezel of a transparent material, through which light passes. Accordingly, the continuity of the light emitting surface can be improved by improving a shading portion disposed between the adjacent light emitting modules M.

The condensing lens 20 may refract the light generated by the light source 10 such that the light travels in parallel or is condensed.

In one form, the condensing lens 20 may be a projection lens, one side or opposite sides of which protrude convexly or a Fresnel lens compressed in a planar direction.
